Forced myself to finish it for bookclub selection. Turned out I was the only one who did. Most people found it very slow and dry. Nothing new to me that behind every good man there is a GOOD WOMAN.

Siddons' writing places the reader in the midst of its location and time. From their childhood through their ageing years, "The Scrubs" make you a part of their group. The Southern character of Charleston is described to a T.
